30 August 2013 Provision for Doubtful Debts - 51,000
Less: Bad debts during the year - 10,000
Balance - 41,000

Closing balance of debtors - 630000
Closing balance required on provision for doubtful debts - 6,30,000*10% = 63,000

Current balance on provision for doubtful debts = Rs. 41,000

Additional provision required = 63000 -41000 = 22000

Entry:

P&L A/c Dr 22,000
To Provision for Doubtful Debts 22,000
